When I heard this my initial impression was that I caught a comedy sketch as I tuned into Imus in the Morning. When I got to work and signed onto my computer I was horrified to learn that it was not a joke. Barack Hussein Obama won the Nobel Peace prize for... wait for it... inspiring hope.
I had to do my basic research on the matter, because I had not felt that Obama had done much for peace in his first 262 days in office. By then the facts were already being gathered, for instance the deadline for nominations was February 1, 2009, a mere 10 days after moving into 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
And in fairness perhaps he did something prior to his Presidency to convince the world's self proclaimed arbiters of peace that Obama was their man. He had promised to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay, but by the end of the nominating process, and repeatedly before the day his prize was announced, Obama backed off that position.
Obama also announced we were fighting the wrong war in Iraq and that we would pull out of there as soon as the Iraqi government requested we do so. No exactly a ringing endorsement for a prize designating him a peace maker.
There is also the awkward statements he made saying that we need to double down in Afghanistan and consider taking the fight to Al Qaeda and the Taliban hiding in Pakistan. I fail to see how waging one war and indicating plans to escalate it, and announcing a desire to open a third front in the Global War on Man Made Disasters is worthy of a lifetime recognition of a man of peace.
In Obama's speech this morning even he expressed his surprise at winning, not to mention winning this award.
So here is the deal.
We know the Nobel prizes are awarded for ideology. The Nobel committee is comprised of one world government Marxists, the awards go to fellow travelers first, and others when there is no like minded alternative.
Obama further said he sees the award as a "call to action."
Call to action? Using that logic lets award the Mets the 2010 World Series now so they feel compelled to win more than 70 games next year.
No. This is not a call to action. This is not an award for peace.
The Nobel Marxist Society gave the award to their poster boy Obama because they know his hubris will not allow his to do the right thing and turn down this undeserved award. It also makes him obligated to push their agenda.
According to Nobelprize.org Obama won the peace prize "for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples".
To date B.H.O. has been all talk no action, affirming my contention that the award is ideological, not practical. And I thought that the low point in the award's history was given to Al Gore and the IPCC for their roles in raising public awareness to the global scam known as global warming.
